: So, my son needs sugar, you say. Yes, if his blood sugar is low.but you say he is hypoglycemic? or do you mean hyperglycemic?? hypo == too
little, hyper == too much: Hopefully, a diabetic diet should be able to help keep those dips
: under control, and I doubt a diabetic diet is composed of primarily
: of sugar.No! The diabetic diet keeps the high sugars under control!! When diabetics go
hypo, they have administered too much insulin for the sugar they have
consumed.:I would expect it to have a properly balanced nutritional
: éventail which would include slower burning material than sugars.but its the fast burning sugars that your son requires, (if he is
hypoglycemic)
give him slow burners and he is going to be very ill!
Wazza...
you have got it SO backwards!!!
Have you even done any research?
Are you trying to KILL her son???
Fast burning sugars cause insulin spikes.
Insulin spikes drive blood sugar LOWER!!!
Slow burning carbs will keep serum glucose levels at a more even level,
especially when mixed with protein.
Stop spouting dangerous [censored] FFS!!!
You may note that the majority repeated what I suggested.
Doesn't that tell you something?
Sheesh!
